Problem with uploading map
« on: March 06, 2014, 03:25:14 pm »
I made a map in polyworks, I compiled it and saved it in map folder, and it works.
Now copied this map and pasted it in my server folder called: maps, I change the end from .PMS to .pms then I change the name to ctf_DraxIceMountain. I also add it to maplist.txt
Also when I use /addmap ctf_DraxIceMountain it says: map not found and when I use /map ctf_DraxIceMountain it loads Drax Mountain although I do not have such a map anymore.... ?!?!?!
I restarted the server couple times, to make it work, I did /addmap ctf_DraxIceMountain and /map ctf_DraxIceMountain and then I wanted to join but it says: It can not load map (2)" what does it mean? and how can I fix it?

Please help

16? co it is #of letters of the name + # of ctf_ which is 4 or 3 we count _ too?

Also, the names in both folders are ctf_IceMountain and when I use in baka admin /map ctf_IceMountain it loads Drax Mountain where server gets this from??
what to do to make server write: "map made by Drax" ??

"Map made by Drax" -> map description in options
To make map available on the linux server - use the lowercase in extension (.pms instead of .PMS)

Not sure, but I think this also includes .pms. Correct me if I'm wrong though.
